Wasn’t sure what to expect from this one. Perhaps a little disappointed at the end score, but it was an experiment anyway. It wasn’t what I had initially anticipated, but while playing around, quite liked the result and thought it was quite apt.
Yes, I know it’s not the symbol for Acid. Unfortunately I didn’t like any of the lengthy options, Nuclear Fallout, Radiation Rain, Nuclear Rain. I threw in Acid Rain as a working title, short and sweet while I pondered on some other title. I couldn’t come up with anything and was going to rename it Radiation Rain but got caught out by DST so the title stuck. May have made a slight difference in some folks interpretation, I dunno.
The saturation is intentional, there’s a popular belief in nuclear fall out causing things to glow. The other cause of long term radiation is mutation, which is why the rain droplets are mutated and look somewhat odd.
Anyway, was fun, learned plenty from the exercise. Would have hoped for more comments. Thanks to those that did.
For the curious folk. Water droplets on a mirror. Radiation image placed in front of mirror and lit with desk lamps from behind the mirror. |

| Shouldn't that be radioactive rain? |

| This is nice looking, but I have no clue how you did this. The colors and rythm work really well together. |

| Great use of colour. I've never trid one of these shots, but the symbol just doesn't look right in your water droplets. |

| This picture has a large amount of contrast and it doesn't really seem balanced at all. |

| Neat concept but the title has nothing to do with the radioactive symbol. |
